public class JToolTip
extends JComponent
implements Accessible
Used to display a "Tip" for a Component. Typically components provide api
to automate the process of using ToolTip
s.
For example, any Swing component can use the JComponent
setToolTipText
method to specify the text
for a standard tooltip. A component that wants to create a custom
ToolTip
display can override JComponent
's createToolTip
method and use a subclass of this class.
See How to Use Tool Tips
in The Java Tutorial
for further documentation.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more
information see Swing's Threading
Policy .
Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeansTM
has been added to the java.beans
package.
